4 days before that horrific mass shooting in Christchurch,New Zealand mosques that killed 49 people,52 Nigerians were killed in a similar way in Inkirimi and Dogonnoma villages in Maro Kajuru LGA of Kaduna state. The victims included women and children.It didnt make headlines!
I thought that news of the Ethiopian airline crash the previous day and Pius Adesanmi being on the flight dominated the media until the Christchurch shooting on 15 March but on that same day,10 people were shot in Nandu village in the same Kajuru LGA.
More than 120 have been killed in similar ways in the same area of Kaduna state within one month,yet there are no headlines or outrage.
Do you know why?
